Lott Carey extends heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Rev. Dr. Gina M. Stewart, Christ Missionary Baptist Church, and the city of Memphis for the warm welcome and hospitality during the 127th Lott Carey Annual Session held from August 12-15 at the Renasant Convention Center.
Christ Missionary Baptist Church, the host church whose pastor is Dr. Stewart, provided much love and assistance, including scores of volunteers who served as ushers, greeters, registrants, etc., as well as providing transportation services.
The city of Memphis enabled the more than 900 participants from across the United States and overseas to worship, fellowship, learn, and network in a comfortable setting and ambiance.
Dr. Stewart, who was coming to the end of her three-year term as Lott Carey president, was the consummate host. She pulled out all the stops and for this Lott Carey is deeply grateful. Her commitment and dedication to Lott Carey is unquestioned and we are delighted that her goal of millions for missions was realized. In response, many churches gave generous donations in addition to substantial gifts from Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, and Compassion International.
We note that through her initiative, Dr. Stewart raised $50,000 from pastors and churches in the city of Memphis alone. These funds will go directly to Lott Carey global partners to meet specific needs in Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Kenya, and South Africa.
“The event was a resounding success, marked by inspirational worship, rich fellowship, wonderful learning experiences, significant contributions and impactful initiatives,” said Executive Secretary-Treasurer Rev. Emmett Dunn. “Lott Carey is deeply grateful to Dr. Stewart, Christ Missionary Baptist Church, and the city of Memphis for their unwavering support and hospitality during the Annual Session. Their welcome, hospitality and contributions have significantly advanced Lott Carey’s mission and impact globally.”
